So 3 people we know of between the two of us were wealthy and lived some type of homeless lifestyle occasionally to full time. And so by your logic, the remaining hundreds of thousands of homeless should be penalized and not offered housing because these 3 individuals would decline it?
I never said any such thing. All I said was that unfortunately some people do need incentive to have shelter. Which I substantiated with an example, and you did as well. They’re the minority, but some people just flat out don’t want what we want. That has no bearing on what we should do for the people who do want and need shelter.

Oh sorry, I may have mistaken you for a different commenter then. Lemmy’s reply system isn’t super easy for me to navigate.
I think if a millionaire wants to rough it, camp, etc, they should be allowed to. Any adult should be allowed to roam. It’s what our ancestors did.
